Define Knot My Child:When a knot is tied, it signifies being restricted and limited. Nevertheless, my child will not be confined or hindered by such boundaries. We will triumph over obstacles and demolish any barriers that stand in our path.
As a single mother raising my black son, I quickly realized the unjust labels society had placed upon him. In order to challenge this stereotype, I founded an organization that prioritizes his education, self-discipline, well-being, financial literacy, and navigating the real world. Our mission is to empower young individuals, offer them opportunities to thrive, and foster a safe environment for open communication. I named this organization "Knot my son" to symbolize the limitations imposed on our boys, but our motto, "LIMITATIONS WILL NOT STOP OUR MOTIVATION OR HINDER OUR DESTINATION," reflects our unwavering determination to overcome societal barriers and shape our own destinies.
When my baby girl came into the world, I knew I wanted both of my children to benefit from the support and opportunities provided by our organization. To encompass the inclusive nature of our work, I decided to change the name to "Knot My Child." This new name represents the unwavering support and opportunities we offer to all children, regardless of their gender.
Our organization holds immense significance for me, and I want to assure you that your child will thrive here. Through our programs and services, we provide the necessary mental and educational support that empowers them to express themselves and find their own path. Knot my child has established a secure environment where you can trust that your child will be safe and nurtured. Join us and witness the transformation as we shape future leaders and role models.
